About Journal:
Aims and scope
Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, the official journal of the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education, is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the exchange of information related to research, curriculum development, program evaluation, classroom and practice innovation, and other topics with educational implications for gerontology and geriatrics. It is designed to appeal to a broad range of readers, including faculty, students, practitioners, administrators, and policy makers and is dedicated to disseminating cutting edge and evidence-based knowledge in the field of gerontology and geriatrics education.
The articles in this highly regarded journal:
Report innovations in teaching and training programs in gerontology and geriatrics at the K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels, and in continuing education, paraprofessional, and public education programs;
Discuss issues, methods, and materials in the training and supervision of gerontology and geriatrics educators, researchers, and practitioners in all settings, including academic and practice settings;
Explore new roles for gerontology and geriatrics educators in community, health care, academic, policy, and corporate settings;
Communicate new methods for developing gerontology and geriatrics educational programs in academic, health care, corporate, and applied settings—and new approaches for supporting such educational programs.
Diversity Equity and Inclusion: Gerontology & Geriatrics Education is committed to advancing the Gerontological Society of America journals’ pledge to encourage and support “cutting-edge, conceptually driven work that addresses and aims to overcome inequity in health, mental health, social status, and justice in later life, particularly those well-documented inequities arising from age, socioeconomic status, racial, ethnic, sex, and gender bias and discrimination, geography, and intersections among them” (Meeks et al., 2021, p. 455).
Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal undergo rigorous double-anonymized peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two peers.
